Cortical Gray Matter Loss in Treatment‐Naïve Alcohol Dependent Individuals
George Fein,V Di Sclafani,Valerie A. Cardenas,H. Goldmann,Marina Tolou-Shams,Dieter J. Meyerhoff +5 more
TL;DR: Most of the reports of the central nervous system consequences of alcoholism may not accurately describe the majority of alcoholic-dependent individuals, and the hypothesis that structural brain changes in treatment-naïve alcoholics are less severe than those reported in clinical samples of alcoholics is suggested.
Journal ArticleDOI
Inequity and the disproportionate impact of COVID-19 on communities of color in the United States: The need for a trauma-informed social justice response.
TL;DR: It is imperative that the country focus and invest in addressing health inequities and work across sectors to build self-efficacy and long-term capacity within communities and systems of care serving the most disenfranchised, now and in the aftermath of the COVID-19 epidemic.
Journal ArticleDOI
Depressive symptoms as a predictor of sexual risk among African American adolescents and young adults.
Larry K. Brown,Marina Tolou-Shams,Celia M. Lescano,Christopher D. Houck,Jessica Zeidman,David Pugatch,Kevin J. Lourie +6 more
TL;DR: Clinicians should assess for depression symptoms in African American adolescent patients as an indicator of future sexual risk and prevention interventions that address depressed mood could have a significant impact on later HIV/STI sexual risk behaviors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Neuropsychological performance of individuals dependent on crack–cocaine, or crack–cocaine and alcohol, at 6 weeks and 6 months of abstinence
TL;DR: The strongest predictor of brain damage associated with substance dependence in this sample was dose (particularly quantity and duration of peak dose), while only mild effects of depression on neuropsychological performance were observed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gender differences in recidivism rates for juvenile justice youth: the impact of sexual abuse.
TL;DR: Gender differences in risk factors for recidivism, including a history of sexual abuse, are examined among a juvenile court clinic sample to suggest the development of gender-responsive interventions to reduce juvenile recidivist and continued legal involvement into adulthood may be warranted.
